how can I find the polarity out from my XLR


hi,

I've a little problem ;-(
I'd like do check what are the polarities out of the pin 2 & 3 of my XLR.

why ?
because the User manual of my cd player says
1=ground
2=(+)
3=(-)
and at the back of my cd player it's wrote
1=ground
2=(-)
3=(+)

how can I do to check exactly "where is" the (+) or (hot) pin

thanks for your help

pop the cover of the machine see what color wires go to wich pin, or use a digital multi meter with a cd in the machine playing, probe the - and the + and the meter will confirm polarities
